For example, in order to subscribe to email updates from us or to obtain tickets for an event, you will need to register with us. If you are applying for a position with Little Island or submitting an application to perform in our park, you may be required to provide certain information to us through our Website (“Application Information”).

You agree to ensure that your Registration Information and Application Information is accurate and current and to update it in a timely manner.

You agree not to share your username and password with a third party for purposes of transacting on your User Account. You agree to promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security of which you become aware.

Ticketed Access and Events
By reserving a free ticket or purchasing a ticket online to visit Little Island or attend a Little Island event, you agree that it is your responsibility before a ticket is issued to verify that all information regarding the ticket, including date, time and seats, is accurate as there are no refunds once the transaction is complete. Fee-based ticket orders are subject to a $4 per ticket service fee. Little Island reserves the right to place limits on the number of tickets available for reservation or purchase; our standard limitation is 10 tickets, but a lower cap may apply to some events. Performers and performance schedules and other event details are subject to change. Please see our Website for the most current information about event details and cancelations due to weather. If an event is cancelled due to inclement weather or other force major event, we will contact you to arrange for a refund. Seat locations are only guaranteed until the scheduled time of the event and latecomers will be seated at the discretion of Little Island. We are a nonprofit venue seeking to promote broad public access at affordable rates, and therefore strongly discourage ticket reselling for a profit. Tickets obtained from unauthorized sources may have been lost, stolen, or obtained improperly. Any such tickets obtained are at your own risk. Little Island is not responsible for lost or stolen property. A ticket constitutes a revocable license, and Little Island reserves the right to refuse admission or revoke a ticket at any time, for any reason. Your ticket may not be copied or reproduced in any form.
